I strongly believe it is these arguments with in architecture that allows architecture to progress. I fear the day when the argument no longer live, because that is when architecture will regress.

If you have any more question please feel free to ask. I love a good argument. Once again thank you for your interest. But, the 'seudo scientific' justificaiton for this and other similar projects is getting sort of annoying. Unless you have a degree in computational fluid dynamics, you probbly do not know anything about laminar flow, just as an architecture student without a degree in biology, really knows little usefull information about 'biomimicry'.

From what i understand about lamanar flow, it is the tendency of parallel streams to not mix, when in a similar fluid. It would have been great though if something practical, say signage, or a pinup wall for exhibits could have been incorporated into it. It is certainally the best of the first year projects still in that building. It's worth distinguishing between concepts as driving forces and concepts as form-finding exercises. If this project were to use laminar flow or certain rule sets rigorously to determine the form, probably with some sort of scripting exercise, it would be a different thing.

The concept is very present in this project, and the various dips and weaves can be defended programmatically, for sure. There is obviously also a good bit of artistic license in the form and details as well as in any argument about why a "flowy" wall is an improvement in the first place , but recognizing those elements does not mean the concept and rigor was compromised, or that architecture students are meaninglessly tossing about fancy words they don't understand.

If that were the case, no project I've seen could stand up to the scrutiny of its own concept, and "conceptually successful" and "hideous" would become synonymous. There has to be some flexibility in our expectations of a project's conceptual genesis, otherwise the whole Project and I don't mean just this wall gets thrown out the window. I'm enjoying - and elarning a lot from - the discussion going on here, thanks everyone for being so engaged.

If the 'idea' of laminar flow was a jumping off point for the students to run with, then fine. You are complete right xcarlx laminar flow was a jumping off piont introduced by our insturctors. The school is located in a quarter-mile-long former freight depot in the Arts District of Los Angeles.

It is distinguished by the vibrant atmosphere of its studios, which provides students with a uniquely inspiring environment in which to study architecture and design. An integral part of the emerging cultural hub of a city with a tradition of architectural experimentation, SCI-Arc is devoted to finding radically new responses to the real needs and aspirations of today's world. The expression thus contains two meanings.

On the one hand, it refers to those processes that aim to produce and articulate the relationships between different layers of an image: movement, sound, foreground, background, light and color, etc. On the other hand, it refers to the total effects of those relationships in space and time. Given the challenges of the last year, the story we wanted to tell mirrors the spectrum of intense and even sometimes contradictory emotions and sensibilities that, in turn animated the past academic year: uncertainty, emptiness, nostalgia, screen immersion, and hope.
